Simulation of velocity and temperature distributions of displacement ventilation system with single or double heat sources

In order to obtain a better understanding of flow characteristics of displacement ventilation,the three-dimensional numerical models are developed using the CFD technology.The numerical simulation results are verified by experiments,based on this,the velocity and temperature distribution of three-dimensional displacement ventilation system with single and double heat sources are studied. Velocity and temperature fields under two different cases of heat source are analyzed and compared. The numerical results show that there are three layers in vertical temperature fields of displacement ventilation system with single or double heat sources,and the vertical temperature distribution of single heat source is different from that of double heat sources.When indoor load is large,the comfort requirement of people indoor can't be satisfied with displacement ventilation system only,thus an additional refrigeration system is necessary.Furthermore,under the condition of two heat sources,the displacement ventilation parameters can't be computed simply according to single heat source inlet parameters,therefore the interaction between heat sources should be considered.
